Despite our desire to see every animal find a loving and permanent home, the sad truth is that many stray cats and dogs are left to fend for themselves. Fortunately, there are kind-hearted people who provide food and shelter to some of these animals so they can survive. One particular stray dog has become a regular at a fast food restaurant, and it seems she knows exactly where to go for a snack. A TikTok user named Gio shared the story of “Subway Sally,” a stray dog who visits the Subway sandwich store where he works every evening to get a bite to eat. In a TikTok video, Gio reveals that he and his colleagues frequently feed Sally, who happily devours the cold turkey and bacon they offer her.
According to Gio, although it’s commendable to help a hungry dog, it’s also important to prioritize keeping your regular customers satisfied. He suggests that failing to feed Sally in a timely manner might result in her opting for Taco Bell next door instead. This TikTok video has gone viral with 3 million views and counting, and @kxnuko expresses their affection for Sally as well as other lovable creatures like stray dogs and subway mascots while listening to Lord Huron’s “The Night We Met”. Sally’s newfound fame has piqued the curiosity of many viewers who commented on her appearance, questioning whether she truly is a stray due to her well-groomed appearance.
In a subsequent film, Gio decides to feed Sally again, emphasizing that she is a stray pooch who only appears respectable because of the kind grooming by the flower woman next door. He explained that he couldn’t take the dog to the nearest shelter which was 20 miles away and had a high mortality rate. Some people were curious as to why Gio didn’t adopt the dog himself. He replied that since the dog was found in a low-income area and he already had five cats, it was difficult for him to locate someone who could look after Sally.
Gio mentioned in his third video that there are a significant number of stray dogs in their community. He also added that his neighborhood is generally neglected, and feeding pets can be costly for most people. According to Gio, Sally, a stray dog, seems to have a specific spot where she sleeps and monitors her pups. Despite many individuals trying to take her away, Sally never wants to leave. It’s inspiring to witness people go the extra mile to care for abandoned animals in their area.
Gio comforted her by saying, “No need to fret, my colleagues and I will take care of feeding her.” Kudos to Gio and his team for their noble act of saving the starving puppy. Let’s spread this heartwarming tale!
